Inertia, I think. The leagues have been there for many years, since the start of fantasy sports on TR, back when there were like four regular NFL leagues plus the keepers. I wouldn't use it at all except for fantasy sports.

I've used ESPN's fantasy football platform. That league moved to Yahoo for last season.

All that AI for targeted advertising, and they can't check their own subject lines. To make matters even more strange, I only looked at that auction briefly, as it got cross referenced by a search for license plate frames.

There was an interesting youtube video I saw last week that talked about barleycorn and other obscure, outdated units of measure that are still in use today. EDIT: found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcLZqpB_QPg

I've been back and forth a million times in getting a gaming laptop or not. I hate the idea of giving up ease of repair and upgrade ability.

I was taking to a friend about how I could mount a monitor closer in the truck to ease my eyes, and convert to mini itx to make it more portable and I realized that's all to much more trouble than it's worth

This is in my cart but I'm still looking. My budget is about 2500 but this laptops SSD space is a little tight so I'll planning to get a 1tb Evo m.2 with it.

Because you live on the road, you may be one of the few people for whom a laptop makes sense as your primary gaming system. Of course, you could get even more compact than mini-ITX without necessarily getting a laptop:https://techreport.com/news/33317/repor ... uc-surface

Well the second part of the trouble is that I'm using the company supplied, wall mounted, tv as a monitor. It's about seven feet away in normal use.

When I take eye exams I can read the smallest lines, but some games have small text that makes my eyes feel uncomfortable to say the least. Not to mention it's a 768 tv, I think there are some quality gains to be had too.

So if I was going to stick with a desktop id want to find a way to get a monitor and keep it closer to me. Way to much trouble and I have enough tech clutter as it is.

At this point I'm committed to just getting a laptop (again) My budget is actually higher than 2500 if it seems worth it. I wouldn't mind getting more hd space later or paying extra for a must have feature although I think a 1060 and ips panel do it for me. I play most things that come out but don't have hangups about what quality I play on.

Either way I'm going to pull the trigger on Tuesday that way I can get everything switched over on my vacation.

How stubborn or stupid do you need to be to think that your Dodge Challenger can handle 3 ft of water? There should be a simple process running through your head: does your car look like this?No? Then it's not going to make it.

That got me wondering how much water i can clear. My intakes are part of the grill and floating isn't a concern. I bet i could clear 3 feet and come out the other side with a half cleaned engine.

Looking at those newegg options i might go with one of those. I'm running into a problem where i'm unsure of how to pay for things that are over my daily debit card limit. Maybe if i put a few hundred dollars on a gift card first.

I bid on an intel p3700 fully expecting to lose the bid, I totally under bid on it. I won it instead... I was gonna buy an Optane but it's just not big enough for what I want to do. I have to buy one of those stupid u2 pci-e adapters.

I rode in one of those in Branson, Missouri, back in the eighties. Drove down the hill from the town and right into the lake. The captain even let me steer. A LOT of fun.

I had the pleasure of working with Vint Cerf, this morning. Of all the celebrities, dignitaries, and generally famous people I get to meet in my job, there are usually, very few that can make me feel as uneducated as I felt this morning. He's a very nice guy, though, and a joy to watch engage a large crowd.

The Duckboat tours in Boston are pretty cool. I went on one after living there for four years even, and it was still cool.
